Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

“Miss, you guessed right. I collected the dregs of ten doses in total. Three of them had one more ingredient than the others. I have already inquired about it. The ingredient is called Yuanzhi (Polygala tenuifolia), which can cause nausea and vomiting, but it also has a calming effect and can make people drowsy!”

Mu Xin Nuan nodded. "You did a good job. Remember, keep this a secret for now and don't mention it to anyone. I haven't left the courtyard much these past few days, so I suppose Aunt Song doesn't know how I am. She probably thinks I've been using this medicine all along."

Rongyue said with some worry, "But Miss, shouldn't we report this to Madam? If Madam finds out, she will definitely purge that kitchen and take back Concubine Song's management of the kitchen!"

“You underestimate Aunt Song!” Mu Xin Nuan shook her head and sighed softly. “If she were so easy to deal with, how could she have won the favor of the old lady? How could she have gained the respect of the servants? If she didn’t have some tricks up her sleeve, how could a mere concubine have the qualifications to manage the household affairs?”

Granny Yu was taken aback. "In charge of the household affairs?"

"Does Miss mean that she's harming you all this way so that Madam will neglect household affairs and focus on taking care of you, so that she can take over Madam's management of the household?"

Mu Xin Nuan nodded and smiled, "Tell me, how could such a scheming person not have prepared an escape route for himself? It's just an extra bit of ambition, it won't be fatal. If things really escalate, I'm afraid that Aunt Song will bribe the family physician, saying it's to calm me down. In that case, wouldn't we be unjustly accused of framing Father's concubine?"

Granny Yu nodded. "Miss's concerns are not unfounded. However, Miss, if we don't take back Concubine Song's power over the kitchen, what if she tries to harm Madam again?"

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements for this. That Aunt Song isn't stupid; she wouldn't dare to act recklessly in just a few days."

Granny Yu thought about it and realized it made sense. She had only been in charge of the kitchen for a few days; how could she have the audacity to poison a concubine? Moreover, if Concubine Song had already bribed the physician, whatever was added to the medicine, the physician would surely exonerate Concubine Song! It seemed that this matter needed to be considered more carefully.

Rongyue was anxious to hear this, but she didn't know what to do. For a moment, her eyes reddened and she almost shed tears.

"Granny Yu, why are you doing this?"

The lighting was dim, and Granny Yu looked surprised. It took her a while to recover. "Miss, isn't this too risky?"

"Don't worry, just do as I say! This is the most effective way to get Aunt Song to completely lose her power to manage the kitchen."

"Yes, Miss. Then I will go and prepare it now."

Four or five days passed in the blink of an eye. Mu Xin Nuan went to Rong Yuan to pay her respects every day, but she looked a little unwell. Li Shi noticed this and felt sorry for her. She simply told her to rest well.

On this day, Zhao Qing, Mu Chang'an's childhood playmate and the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, came to visit with his young son.

Mu Chang'an waited with Mu Qingxuan in the study. They had only exchanged a few words when a servant rushed in to report, "Reporting to Master, Miss has suddenly fallen ill!"

"What? What's going on?"

"Reporting to Master, Granny Yu from the backyard sent someone to fetch the family physician, and Madam and the Old Madam also went there. For some unknown reason, the eldest young lady suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chang'an was extremely anxious! Mu Qingxuan immediately ran out of the study, but turned back as soon as he left, bowing deeply to Zhao Qing, "Please, Uncle, save me."

Mu Chang'an also looked at Zhao Qing, "Brother Zhao, since you're here, please examine my daughter."

"Let's go. My niece has something to attend to, so I can't just ignore her."

Meanwhile, things were in complete chaos at Yuexuan's place.

Mu Xin Nuan lay unconscious on the bed, while Li Shi sat on the edge of the bed, wiping away tears.

"My poor child, what happened? How did you all end up like this? How have you been taking care of him?"

The room was filled with kneeling servants. Rongyue said in a trembling voice, "Reporting to Madam, the eldest young lady just took the medicine, and I don't know why, but she suddenly vomited blood."

Aunt Song's eyelids twitched. Medicine? What a coincidence?

Although Mu Xinyao was only nine years old, she knew that her aunt was now in charge of the kitchen, and the medicine naturally came from the small pharmacy in the kitchen. This was clearly an insinuation that her aunt was secretly harming Mu Xinnuan.

Mu Xinyao, being still young, immediately pointed at Rong Yue and said, "Nonsense! You wretched servant, you're talking nonsense! Eldest sister just took the medicine, so how could she suddenly vomit blood? It's clearly because you wretched servants didn't serve her well, and now you're trying to shift the blame. You have absolutely no manners!"

Her words caused both Madam Li and the old lady to frown.

Aunt Song sensed something was wrong and quickly reached out to pull Mu Xinyao back, curtsying and saying, "It's all because I failed to teach her properly, please forgive me, Madam."

The old lady's expression was indeed rather unpleasant. With both herself and Madam Li present, how dare a concubine's daughter reprimand the legitimate daughter's maid? It was utterly disrespectful!

Upon hearing this, Madam Li sneered, "Why hasn't the family physician arrived yet? Do we have to wait until Miss faints for another hour before we can get him to come?"

These words were a veiled criticism that the family physician didn't treat the young lady as his mistress! This accusation clearly showed extreme dissatisfaction with the physician! In an ordinary wealthy family, such a physician would likely be unusable. But a physician expelled from a prestigious household would have his reputation ruined! No family would hire such a physician!

"Madam, the royal physician has arrived."

Granny Yu wiped away her sweat and quickly stepped aside to let the family physician take her pulse.

The physician frowned and subconsciously glanced in Song's direction. Madam Li was preoccupied with worry for Mu Xin Nuan and didn't notice his gaze, while Granny Yu, who had been instructed beforehand, secretly observed their interaction.

"Miss is simply suffering from a sudden surge of anger and blood. Perhaps she has been stimulated or upset by something, which is why she is like this. Please rest assured, Madam and Madam. I will prescribe a medicine for Miss, and she will be fine after taking the medicine."

Upon hearing this, Li seemed unconvinced. "You said it's due to qi and blood attacking the heart? But how old is Anuan? How could she possibly have such a strong temper?"

Granny Yu frowned slightly. If these words were to spread, it would be extremely detrimental to her young lady's reputation. If she had such a temperament at such a young age, what would she be like when she grew up? Which young master would be willing to marry such a young lady?

"Nonsense! The young lady isn't suffering from a blood deficiency attack; she's clearly been poisoned!"
